currently enjoying the stage of recovery where I have enough self esteem to get pissed off

Other sweet and sexy psych recovery milestones:

1. I can say the words "abuse", "trauma", and "flashback" out loud without feeling like a guilty liar

2. I'm angry and I don't feel bad about it

3. Accidentally discovered a personal boundary halfway through asserting it

4. I said something confident as a joke and someone agreed with me

5. Oh shit I *enjoy* things

6. I'm angry and it feels really really good

7. I genuinely think this person is a moron and I have no desire to rationalize their stupid choices

8. I'm a good person, actually

9. Just realized that the minor thing I thought I was upset about is actually a placeholder for the really old thing I'm *actually* upset about and suddenly the new thing isn't such a big deal

10. "Same trauma!" *fist bump*

11. Self-deprecation makes me uncomfortable, actually

12. Fuck it, I deserve nice shit I don't need

13. I fucked something up and I'm not a bad person, literally just moving on

14. Wild that I don't feel like apologizing

15. This thing that gave me a panic attack once is only uncomfortable now, fuckin righteous

16. I'm ugly in public cause I don't need to impress anyone and I literally do not care

17. Hey Bitches Who Wants To Hear An Opinion

18. Oh! People like me!! Wild!!!

I think one of my favorite feelings is laughing with someone and realizing half way through how much you enjoy them and their existence.

In honor of World Poetry Day, I’d like to read you a poem. :)

Giraffe by Bryony Littlefair

When you feel better from this – and you will – it will be quiet and unremarkable, like walking into the next room. It might sting a little, like warmth leaking into cold-numbed hands. When you feel better, it will be the slow clearing of static from the radio. It will be a film set when the director yells cut! When you feel better, you will take: a plastic spoon for your coffee foam, free chocolates from the gleaming oak reception desk, the bus on sunny days, your own sweet time. When you feel better, it will be like walking barefoot on cool, smooth planks of wood, still damp from last night’s rain. It will be the holy silence when the tap stops dripping. The moment a map finally starts to make sense. When you feel better, you will still suffer, but your sadness will be graspable, roadworthy, have handlebars. When you feel better, you will not always be happy, but when happiness does come, it will be long-legged, sun-dappled: a giraffe.

Soothing. Just beautiful.

It hurts a lot.

~People don’t take my sadness seriously cause I learned to wear a smile everyday. Sometimes it’s unbearable.

~Some wounds won’t be healed I feel ; no matter how far I travel.

It hurts a lot.

Hi it’s October 22nd and I’ve thought for just a second;

How my life has turned around, how many have things have changed

I think of all the joy I’ve ever lived.

I think of how many times I fell in love.

I think of all the times I didn’t know who I was, and wonder why that hurt so much

But otherwise things wouldn’t have turned out the way they did;
